Good News! Now you can Create Better Maps with Global Mapper - Experience the power ofprofessional mapping!

Global Mapper is a comprehensive software package which includes much more functionality such as easy to use viewer/editor capable of displaying the most popular raster, elevation and vector datasets (now including GeoPDF®!); convert, edit, mosaic, reproject, print, track GPS; utilize GIS functionality on your datasets; unsurpassed technical support with no extra support fees!

Global Mapper includes the ability to directly access multiple online sources of imagery, topographic maps, and gridded terrain data. This includes access to worldwide high resolution color imagery from DigitalGlobe (watermarked access for free), detailed street maps from OpenStreetMap.org, and access to the entire TerraServer-USA database of USGS satellite imagery and topographic maps free-of-charge.

Global Mapper also has the ability to easily access WMS data sources, including built-in access to elevation data and color imagery for the entire world, and to view elevation and vector data in true 3D with any loaded data draped on top of it!

Global Mapper is more than just a utility; it has built in functionality for distance and area calculations, raster blending, feathering, spectral analysis and contrast adjustment, elevation querying, line of sight calculations, cut-and-fill volume calculations, as well as advanced capabilities like image rectification, contour generation from surface data, view shed analysis (including Fresnel) from surface data, terrain layer comparison (including differencing), and triangulation and gridding of 3D point data. Repetitive tasks can be accomplished using the built in scripting language or comprehensive batch conversion functionality.

Have you ever received a dataset that does not match the projection of your current project? Simply load the dataset into Global Mapper, change the projection, and save the file to match your coordinate system. If the dataset is larger than the area you are interested in, export the data using the crop feature and change the projection and format of the data at the same time.

Your data files can be loaded as layers, for example a Digital Elevation Model (DEM) can be loaded with a scanned topographical map to create a 3D view of the map. A digital aerial image can be draped on the surface together with vector contour mapping to create a stunning and informative graphic. The results can be printed, or the workspace can be exported to a high resolution raster image for use in a presentation or report.

Key Features ofGlobal Mapper:
Provides direct access to DigitalGlobe high resolution color imagery and OpenStreetMap.org detailed street maps for the entire world from within the application!

Provides direct access to the complete TerraServer-USA satellite imagery and topographic map archive for the entire US free-of-charge within the application!

Provides easy, direct access to WMS data sources, including built-in access to the complete 30-m NED database, the 3-arc second world SRTM database, and color global Landsat imagery free-of-charge within the application!

Supports true 3D viewing of loaded elevation and 3D vector data including draping of any loaded imagery and vector data over the 3D surface.

Crop, reproject, and merge any combination of raster data and elevation data, including DRGs. You can also crop data to an area feature.

GeoPDF® SUPPORT! You can import GeoPDF® files and export any collection of loaded data to new Geo-enabled PDF files, making your data accessible to any user without requiring them to have any mapping knowledge.

DIGITIZING SUPPORT! You can digitize new vector (area, line, and point) features by drawing them with the mouse. You can also edit existing vector features. Newly created and editing features can be saved to any of the supported export formats. In addition, shapes like rectangles, circles, ellipses, arcs, buffers around existing features, and concentric range rings can be easily created as well. You can also input features via a series of distance/bearing/COGO coordinates.

GPS SUPPORT! You can track a compatible GPS device connected to your computer's serial port or USB port in real-time over any loaded data. In addition, you can mark waypoints at the current GPS location and record a tracklog of where your GPS device has been while connected, all seamless with your loaded map data! With supported devices (such as the RavTrack GPS Transponders from RaveonTech) you can even track multiple GPS devices in order to perform fleet management functions. You can also send any loaded data to comaptible Garmin GPS devices (like Oregon and Colorado devices), thus allowing you to easily view imagery and other data on your handheld Garmin device.

PROJECTION/DATUM SUPPORT! Global Mapper supports accurate conversions between a large list of projection systems and datums. NAD27 and NAD83 HPGN/HARN datum conversions in the US use the NADCON conversion method, and the NTv2 datum conversion method is used for the NAD27 (Canada), AGD66, AGD84, and NZGD49 datums. Custom datum conversions can be easily added in either 3-parameter or 7-parameter form if a required datum transformation is not already supported.

EXPORT SUPPORT! You can export both vector, raster, and elevation data to a variety of formats (see below). You can merge any combination of data sets, regardless of source scale, type, and projection. You can also breakup your data into a regularly spaced grid on export if you'd like as well.

IMAGE RECTIFICATION! You can graphically rectify (georeference) any JPG, TIFF, or PNG image and save the results to a new fully georeferenced image. Vector data can also have a rectification process applied to it after loading to allow morphing vector data to fit other data sets.

CONTOUR GENERATION! You can create contours for any combination of elevation data. You can also specify the contour interval to use. The generated contour data can then be exported to any of the supported vector export formats (see previous item for a list).

Automatic triangulation and gridding of 3D point (i.e. LIDAR) data sets, such as ASCII XYZ files. This allows you to convert a set of elevation samples into a fully gridded data set, which can then be used for contour generation, line of sight analysis, and view shed analysis, among other things. The data can also be exported to any of the supported elevation grid formats, such as USGS DEM.

Multi-Spectral Support! With Gloabl Mapper you can easily load and display imagery with more than 3 bands of data and configure which bands are used for the red, green, and blue color channels. You can also export your multi-band imagery to new multi-band GeoTIFF files and configure exactly what is the input for each exported band.

Support for combining/comparing terrain surfaces, such as DEMs. This allows you to generate a new terrain surface by combining/comparing two loaded terrain surfaces with operations like subtraction (difference), averaging, and min/max. The results can then be exported to any of the supported elevation grid formats, such as USGS DEM.

NASA World Wind Support! Any loaded data can be exported to JPG or PNG image tiles setup for immediate display in NASA's World Wind application. The necessary .xml file is also automatically generated.

Google Maps Support! Any loaded data can be exported to JPG or PNG image tiles setup for immediate display using Google Maps in a web browser. The necessary HTML file is also automatically generated.

Virtual Earth Support! Any loaded data can be exported to JPG or PNG image tiles setup for immediate display using Microsoft's Virtual Earth interface in a web browser. The necessary HTML file is also automatically generated.

Advanced screen capture. You can capture the contents of the screen to a BMP, JPG, PNG, or (Geo)TIFF file of user-specified resolution.

Batch conversion of almost any input data data files to any compatible export type.

Automatic collar removal for DRG, DOQQ, BSB, GeoPDF®, and other formats. You can now have the collar of USGS DRG, DOQQ, BSB (marine chart), and GeoPDF® files automatically clipped off. This allows you to seamlessly view a collection of adjacent files. Manual collar cropping is also supported.

Global Mapper supports opening SDTS DLG, SDTS DEM, and most other file types directly from .tar.gz and .zip archives. This saves the major headache of decompressing each SDTS transfer into a separate directory.

Added built-in access to the NAIP color high-resolution imagery for the entire United States via the File->Download Online Imagery/Data menu command.

Added built-in access to the ASTER GDEM terrain data at 1.5 arc second (~45m) resolution for the entire world via the File->Download Online Imagery/Data menu command.

Added 'Point Styles' tab to Options dialog for vector layers with point features allowing users to setup the styling of points in a layer. Now users can use the default type-based styling, apply a single style to all point features in a layer, setup an attribute-based styling system that styles the points based on the value of an attribute value or the display label, or randomly assign colors to the dot or custom symbols for points in a layer. Watch this video:

Updated the Download Online Imagery/Data interface to group data sources to allow easily finding data sources of a particular type or covering a particular area.

Updated the Control Center to support assigning groups to selected layers via the right-click menu. Those groups can then be collapsed in the Control Center to allow easily selecting, closing, or hiding/showing that group.

Added newright-click option to the Digitizer Tool for creating a regular grid of areas anchored at some point and of user-specified size, rotation angle, and naming.

Updated theexport interface to replace the long sub-menus with dialogs allowing format selection to prevent overflowing the export format lists off of the screen.

Updated themap legend display based on vector types to allow labeling each style in the legend by the feature type, name, or any attribute value, in addition to the feature description which is what was always used before.

Added new EDIT_VECTOR script command (replacing the ASSIGN_TYPES command) to allow adding/updating feature attributes values and display labels, reclassifying features, rotating/scaling/offsetting feature coordinates, or marking features as deleted by searching loaded features for matches against their attributes/label values and/or types.

Updated PDF export to allow using a separate layer for each raster/elevation file exported to a PDF file rather than always combining them into a single layer.

Made grid line setup be saved in workspace files and map layout files, so your grid spacing setup will be saved separately in each workspace.

Allowed adding/updating per-vertex elevations for selected line and area features from loaded terrain layers using the Digitizer Tool.

Added elevation units selection for loaded vector layers to the main Feature Types option tab for the layer (moved from Projection tab), making it much easier to find and work with.

Added option to area volume measurement to find the cut height at which the cut and fill volumes would be approximately equal.

Added option to save color values and from loaded raster files and select the elevation units when exporting new Lidar LAS files from loaded vector data.

Added option to log all incoming GPS fixes and NMEA strings to a file on the GPS Setup dialog.

All of the other numerous changes are listed in the What's New document that is displayed during installation. Free download the Newest Global Mapper 12 and experience the power of professional mapping!

I always want to recommend one converter software for every friend. Today I could tell you excitedly that I met one perfect product. I'm sure that it's almost perfect. In fact, it's a big surprise for me during 2010!

This guide is about VSO's product called ConvertXtoDVD, nicknamed as X2D. As the name suggests, this software is designed to convert DivX, XviD, MPEG-4, AVI, WMV and MOV videos to DVD compliant format. ConvertXToDVD supports both PAL and NTSC formats and aspect ratio can be selected according to display device. There's also support for subtitles in SubRip (SRT) and SUB&IDX formats. Chapters are also one of the key features and you'll be able to burn your DVD project with ConvertXtoDVD. One of the great new features in X2D is menu creating: you'll be able to create your own menus to your DVD! ConvertXToDVD doesn't need any external codecs to work, since it uses internal codecs.

Options dialog is pretty straight forward. Select Options -> General to start configuring the settings. First you need to select your working directory. That'll be the directory where ConvertXtoDVD places your ready-to-be-burned DVD files. The same directory will be used as a temporary files directory (Note: be sure to have several gigabytes of free space on the drive). If you're seeing video preview upside down in main window, you should tick the Flip preview check box. There's also few options about updating the software and you can change the theme if you want to.

The language tab is pretty clear as well. You just need to select the language you want to use. ConvertXtoDVD supports many different languages, so you should find your native language there. Next tab is about chapters. You can use this option to create chapter every x minute. There's also an option to select the minium length of video where chapters will be inserted.

Menu tab contains everything about menu creation and other playback features. You'll be able to use a custom background for your menus, you can configure fonts and number of entries on menu page. Auto start playback starts to play your movie right away when you insert the disc in your DVD player. If this option is checked main menu won't be entered at all, even when you have one on the disc. When using Loop playback feature, your videos will be played in a loop, so that after the last video, your DVD player will jump to the first video on the disc. Sequential playback plays all your videos in specified order from the first one to the last one.

So let's see the TV Format dialog next. There's two options: Video Standard and TV Screen. If Video Standard is set to Automatic, X2D will apply the used standard according to your source file. If your source file's FPS is 23.976 or 29.700, used standard will be NTSC. And if it's 25.00, it's PAL. However, this option gives you opportunity to make a frame rate conversion. If you want all your DVDs to be PAL or NTSC, just make one as a default Video Standard.

TV Screen option defines the aspect ratio to be used. If set to Automatic, X2D will look into source file's aspect ratio and use the one closest to it. You can override this option just like the Video Standard option. Just set it to what ever you desire. If you have a wide screen TV, you'd choose the 16:9 (Wide screen) option. And if you own a 4:3 television the 4:3 (Full screen) is your choice.

In Burning tab you can choose if you want ConvertXtoDVD to burn the project on DVD after successful conversion: just tick the Burn result to DVD check box. You need to remember to insert a blank DVD media in the DVD±RW drive, if you're using this option. If Add Original Files to DVD (if possible) is checked, X2D will burn the source file (AVI, MP4, etc.) on DVD as well, if there's enough room for it on DVD. There's also an option to delete all temp files after burning, and you can send your burning statics to VSO's online database. In the newer versions, there's also option to use SAO (Session At Once) burning technique. Use this option only if you're having problems with burning discs.

You can set your native language as Default language in Subtitle tab. After this, your DVD player will recognize your subtitle's language as your native language. You can also use custom fonts with your subtitles. X2D has a separate editor for subtitles. Click the Text subtitles rendering options button to access it.

As you can see, there's quite many options to tweak. You can use the Margin values to adjust the position of your subtitles. I suggest you to play around with the editor. You can find many options useful to you.

In Audio tab you need to set the language used in your video, that your standalone DVD player will recognize the correct language.There is also a feature which allows you to adjust sound level. Usually there is no need to adjust the sound level, but if you, for some reason need to boost the level, be careful with the slider. Adjusting sound level too high can cause distortions to audio.

You should check the Don't check/fix audio discontinuities option if you do not have any problems with A/V sync in your source file. If you're having A/V sync issues, you should not check this option.

Encoding tab offers few more options to tweak. Encoding quality/speed is the most important setting of all! If you have plenty of time, always set the quality as high as possible, which is in this case the High quality / slow encoding. If you encode at nights this is the only rational option to choose. Otherwise use the recommended setting. If you are in hurry and speed is the most important factor to you, use the Low quality / slow encoding option. Note that when you are converting from other lossily compressed formats (Divx, MPEG-4, MOV, etc.) the quality is always compromised. However the speed difference of the Medium and High Quality setting is not too great, so High Quality should be preferred as the default.

If you use ordinary DVD5 disc (4.38GB) set it as target size. DVD9 option is meant for dual-layer discs which are pretty still pretty expensive at the time of writing this article. Usually DVD5 is a good choice, even if you had a dual-layer disc to use. You could consider using DVD9 discs if you have many videos to convert or you have a very long video with high quality. Usually AVI videos are encoded at medium quality, so using DVD9 disc would be just a waste of bitrate. A DVD5 can carry over 2 hours of converted video with high quality. ConvertXtoDVD can use Custom size when converting the video. This isn't usually needed, but you can have some use for this option as well.

The last option is about conversion priority. If you intend to use your computer while converting, Below Normal or Lowest is recommended option to use. Otherwise X2D will use all processing power you have and using your computer will be slow. Of course if you encode at night, Normal or something higher is a good choice.

Last but not least, there's a tab called Image Processing. If you are dealing with interlaced source and want to deinterlace it, you should check the Interleave (Recommendedwith DV source) check box. You should deinterlace your video when you're using a progressive display device. For example, LCD TVs and TFT monitors are progressive displays. If you're not sure if your source is interlaced or not, open your video to a video editor and go through it frame by frame. If you see horizontal lines in your video, it's likely to be interlaced. For an example, look at the picture on the right.

To add video in X2D, you need to select File -> Add Video file. After adding the file(s), X2D will show menu and video details in main window. In this step we are going to concentrate on three things:

Menu features

Subtitle and chapters options

Image processing features

Firstly let's take a look at the menu options in X2D. You can easily use any background picture you want and specify fonts and sizes for your menu items. The other menu features are already explained in the first step.

Secondly, there are few nice features you might want to use with subtitles and chapters. Right click on the subtitle section and select Add Subtitle Channel. Note that valid subtitle formats are SRT (Subrip) and SUB&IDX combination, SUB file without the IDX part won't work. X2D will automatically insert subtitles to project if you have a compatible subtitle file in the same directory as your video. The subtitle file has to be named similarly to the main video such as my_video.srt while the main video is my_video.avi.

After you have added your subtitles, you can set it as default subtitle by right clicking on the added subtitle stream.

There are similar options for chapters also. Right click on the Chapter and select Add Chapter and you will have a pop up where you can specify a chapter point.

Last but not least, there is few options regarding the Image processing.

Fit to screen (Aspect ratio may change) discards the aspect ratio of you video and resizes straight to DVD's native resolution. This will most likely cause significant aspect ratio errors, so use this option with caution.

De-interleave (recommended for DV sources) option is already explained in the first step of this guide. It removes to interlacing from your video. Note that you should apply this option to videos know to be interlaced.

Now you are ready to start the conversion process, so hit Convert button and let the X2D do it's job!

Computers Little Annoyances

AVI, Mpeg, Mpeg4, DivX, Xvid, MOV, WMV, WMV HD, DV, MKV ... What ever happened to the time when all you had to do was turn on your TV to watch your favourite show. With the variety of things to watch out there is cyberworld it can become very confusing to know what is and is not compatible with your DVDplayer. VHS than BETA, now DVD, Blue-Ray, HD-DVD, when will it all end! ConvertXtoDVD download here.

Some DVD players on the market try to make it simpler by incorporating DivX and MP4 compatibilities but that hardly accounts for the formats you will find on YouTube or Google Video.

The VSO Solution

If you want to have what you watch on the internet in your DVD library, VSO has come up with a software that can convert any type of media file into DVD format.

All you have to do is trace the file adjust the Menu making properties and hit the Convert button, its that simple. And it even comes with its own burning software so that everything is streamlined for simplicity sake.

Step By Step Guide

Find the video you want to download and hit the Download button. If there isn't a download option than hack into it. To do this, watch the video and when it has completed buffering, search for the video file in your Temporary internet folder. Then drag it to your My Video folder.

Free Trial and Cost

The free trial allows you to convert three files before it times out. However, the video will have a slight watermark embedded into it.

If you are certain this will annoy you the program costs about $60 Canadian. I believe this is a bargain when you consider all the free movies and shows you will have for free from the internet into your video library. considering all of the other video converters out there ConvertXtoDVD is by far the easiest and better quality program out there. You will not regret the purchase.

Would you like to watch your favorite videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Metacafe, Google Video, DailyMotion, Yahoo! Video or any other major video sharing website whenever and wherever you please? With VDownloader Plus, you'll be able to do all of these.

The advantage being, I was surfing the internet like I regularly do and was downloading videos (plus converting them to the most comfortable format any one of us can dream of) simultaneously. All this was happening in just one single piece of software and this made my life look extremely simple. I was in heaven, literally!

VDownloader is extremely simple to use application with 5 buttons on its left side bar that are enough to control your computer as well as your complete surfing habits. The small size of the setup file (6.62 MB on my system) makes it easy to download and less CPU hungry. The application can be made to run in background so that your favorite videos are download regularly while you are busy handling other useful tasks of yours. One might not believe this but the simple looking features of VDownloader make this application the complete video downloading engine that video junkies die for. For example, you can have ConvertXtoDVD download, avi to dvd video converter free download quite easy.

Design

Just once, take a close look at the screenshot below and try to find out something complex in this application.

So, were you actually able to find anything overly complex in your first glance? Hell no! The reason is simple. Complexity and VDownloader are two totally opposite words that have no relationship whatsoever between themselves. VDownloader has been designed keeping in mind the average Internet user who is not aware (and not even interested) in anything fancy while he/she is busy searching for some of the best videos. The Activity Button is where the basic feature of the application lies.

As show above, all that you have to do is enter the Video URL and opt for the output format in which you want your downloaded video to be saved. The application has various forms of output formats available that will make life a lot easier for an average video downloader. From windows media player compatibility to iPad compatibility, VDowloader handles everything without any downsides.

One can set default output formats by changing the settings of the applications so that all videos are download in that particular format by default. Setting timers, default folders to save downloaded videos, surfing your downloaded history, surfing through your disk to look for more videos, searching videos from the Internet and surfing the web for your own personal use are some of the few features that VDownloader boasts about.

Key Features:

The tiny VDownloader has plenty of features which (at times) contradict its size but (somehow) are unbelievably true. As you can always surf through all the features of VDownloader on its website henceforth, we will concentrate on some of the attractive features that make this simple looking application extraordinary.

VDownloader supports more than 10 languages thus making it extremely easy to use for people from around the planet. Nobody has been spared from YouTube mania. Not even a single country. With the spur of YouTube people have constantly tried to download different videos from YouTube for there collection and also to avoid bandwidth problems. Such softwares that can be used by users in any part of the world tend to increase their reach amongst its customers. From English to Chinese, VDownloader can understand literally anything.

Here comes one of the best features of VDownloader Plus- scheduler! You can edit software settings so that the application downloads videos only during weekends, weekdays or during some predefined hours thus making your downloading habits highly controllable. Decide the time when your Internet bandwidth is least used and set VDownloader to complete the downloads during that time period. Now, you won't have to face slow Internet problems due to parallel downloads and you won't even have to worry about starting/stopping downloads when your Internet is free. VDownloader does the honors for you.

To add on to the above scheduler feature one can go ahead and start batch downloads (check File Menu) during those free hours so as to utilize your Internet bandwidth to the max. After all you are paying for the same then why not squeeze out even the last drop from the bandwidth that you receive?

Lets face the reality! No Internet based downloader is complete without the search based feature. Folks behind VDownloader are also pretty much aware of the above fact hence they have come up with their own kind of search feature. You search for what you want to download and Vdownloader will search for the same keywords in four different websites at the same time.
